Adam was a heart patient and had been advised by doctors to undergo a cardiac transplant.
He died suddenly on Monday on his way to the hospital, where he was going to get polio drops before he was to fly to India on Wednesday for treatment.
The 16-year-old's last wish was to meet Imran -- a meeting which had taken place yesterday at the teenage boy's residence.
The PTI chief expressed grief for Daniyal's death on his twitter account, acknowledging that he had met the teenager just yesterday.
Saddened by death of brave Daniyal whom I met be4 he was 2 leave 4 heart surgery. Allah grant his family strength 2 bear the terrible loss.

Imran had also tweeted about his meeting with his fan, who, in his awe for the PTI chief, had made his parents vote for the party.

The PTI chief had also wished for his fan to have a "speedy recovery" on his twitter account.
May Allah grant Daniyal a speedy recovery. My prayers go with him and his family.

Imran had said that he would personally take care of his healthcare expenses, flight and accomodation, and had provided the family with a cheque of Rs100,000.

Love youuuuuuuuu Imran Khan. You are a true hero and a true leader. You will win for so sure, In Shaa ALLAH.
omg!!!! imran khan i lov u keep on doing this work n never stop that dharna and i hpoe so that u will block pakistan GO NAWAZ GO WE R WITH U ..............
The news was broken by a TV channel. IK was informed by a TV channel and naturally when IK went there the cameras followed. Had media not been there IK or anyone would never have even found out that this kid existed and had a wish to meet IK.
I am not supporter of any political party in Pakistan. But IK has done a good job here. Please notice his simplest clothes. He also kissed Danyal (May his soul RIP). He did not go himself to visit, it was Danyal's Wish same as Shahid Afridi met a handicap man in Karachi few days back. Lets appreciate the good deeds. However, none of these politicians is beneficial for Pakistan.
So in the end where to critically ill heart patients from Pakistan aspire to go for treatment which is world class and affordable ?
.............................India !!
Imran Khan is the biggest drama baaz in Pakistan, I swear to GOD. He only did this to serve as a PR stunt, I mean just look at how far away he's sitting from the kid, it's almost as if he didn't even want to touch him. Shame on this pathetic human being. And my questions to this Israeli agent is why did he pay for this patient to go to India? Why didn't he tell the patient's family to treat the boy in Pakistan, OUR MOTHERLAND, where we have no shortages of highly skilled heart specialists. Pakistan army ZINDABAD, please stop this Israeli agent from tearing our country apart.
Blithe: I totally disagree with you. Are you so naive to believe TV channels only seem to go where they are invited? Half of the news wouldn't have been happening if that were true.
RIP Daniyal.
Mian Sahib shows these kinds of gestures every day but occasionally they are reported in media.
@nadim so no other leader ever visited a sick person? Are we now blind to only IK and cant see beyond him even for humane things?
@Moiz Omar: You have pointed out a very valid question, it is so simple to understand, the elite, the politicians, the military and all those who has money which may have been earned honestly or by crooked means go abroad for medical treatment and they have neglected to make world class hospitals in Pakistan. I recall when Zardari sneezed, he opted to go to Dubai for treatment and the rest do the same. Look at Musharraf , he won't bring his mother to Pakistan because Pakistan does not have medical facilities like Dubai and he ruled the country for almost 10 years but did not do any thing to improve the conditions for the masses to be treated in Pakistan. I hope this answer your question.
IK went there with cameras!!?!?
Why did he go there and create such commotion! He should have gone discretely if he had to...
Doesn't he know 101 of dealing with heart patients ??! Or was he just using him for the galleries and twitter post ??
Tragic at many levels!
@MAD: infact Imran Khan is good for such gestures only. By creating confrontation & chaos in the country, the cricketer is fast-losing his popularity.
Such gestures should be appreciated regardless of political views.
Why did he need to go to India for treatment? Was our healthcare system not good enough? If not, that is terrible. We need to make it better. Also now I have a little bit more respect for Mr. Imran Khan. Also R.I.P.
@junaid: People ask, whats the difference b/w Imran Khan and other leaders. Heres their answer. RIP Daniyal. You are certainly in a better place now.
Great step by IK. These things are necessary. That being said, I think something to reflect on IK here and calling out SS when ever he is out doing things like that etc.
So can ns ever be a kid's hero? A last wish?
And it indeed ended up being a last wish. RIP Daniyal!
IK is the true leader who cares about people of Pakistan.
Like him or hate him. There is something special in Imran. RIP Danyal
